Lay Dominican professions in Lithuania

Annually on the feast day of Saint Thomas Aquinas
Lay Dominicans of Lithuania gather in Vilnius in the Church of St. Apostles
Philip and Jacob where they celebrate Eucharist together and make professions
to the Order of Preachers.

This year’s celebration took place on the 26th
of January. Many Lay Dominicans from Vilnius, Kaunas and Panevežys had
gathered. The Holy Mass was celebrated by Fr. Bernardas Verbickas OP. During
the homily, Fr. Bernardas OP has gone over what is the mission and charism of
the Dominican vocation and by doing so has strengthened the resolve of those
gathered, to follow the example of St. Dominic. We wholeheartedly thank our
religious assistant Rev. Fr. Jacek Szpręglewski OP for guiding us through the
Dominican way.

During the Liturgy of the Hours five Lay
Dominican sisters were admitted to perpetual profession, one sister has renewed
her profession and three brothers and three sisters made temporary professions
to the Order of Preachers. We thank God and St. Dominic for our brothers and
sisters and pray that their hearts transform into passionate hearts of
preachers.

Rev. Fr. Bernardas OP wished us that our presence, our testimony and
our serenity would heal those we encounter in our lives.
